Dream; Believe; Do!

I can scarcely believe I’m doing this again already. This list is going to look an awful lot like the 2010 list, as last year wasn’t exactly conducive to marking off permanent goals. What a fantasy to think I could end 2011 with all this accomplished! I still contend it’s good for me to write my priorities somewhere to help maintain focus – assuming there’s time available to worry about them. 😉

Knit/Spin/Weave Goals:

Publish at least 4 knitting patterns, including another KAL

Complete Level 1 of the Olds College Master Spinner Program

Knit a project from wool I’ve cleaned and spun, using a pattern I’ve designed

Finish at least 3 of the projects currently languishing in my WIP/UFO tubs – at least one item started before July 1, 2009, and the other two any time before July 1, 2010. Jade Garden – Feb 18, Noro Airfare Scarf – Mar 19,

Explore double knitting to the point of being entirely comfortable doing it.

Other Creative Goals:

Finish at least one of the current remodeling projects – nook, laundry, sewing room, or kitchen

Finish Reba – bisque porcelain doll

Move one of my dolls from hospital patient status to display status – maybe Aaron, so he can show off his adorable knitted romper?

Finish the interior and/or exterior of Friendship Cabin, a Real Good Toys Adirondack Cabin that we started several years ago, but which has languished untouched since sometime before the beginning of 2009

Finish my Gail Wilson Hitty, which was started with enthusiasm during the online class, worked on for three nights, and now has the rest of the girls giving me “the look” for not getting their sister done

Find the stories I started writing and complete at least one rough draft

Finish a Hitty carving project

Finish my Minstrel spinning wheel

Create a photo book and a calendar

Finish either a quilt or cross stitch UFO

Decluttering/Organizational Goals:

Catalog DVD library and view those I’ve not watched

Stash all my yarn on Ravelry – which will get done one of these years if I keep at it!
